Electroacupuncture What To Know
Acupuncture involves the use of thin needles to stimulate specific points to alleviate pain and other symptoms. Electroacupuncture follows traditional acupuncture with the insertion of solid, thin, sterile needles in specific points on the body to regulate energy flow.
Once the needles are placed into the points, wires are clipped on to the needles and plugged into an electro-therapy machine, which generates a mild electric current into the needles. It is believed to help increase blood circulation, which can help to relieve any pain and potential blockages.
Electroacupuncture can treat various conditions, including:
Stress
Chronic pain
Muscle spasms
Arthritis
Sports injuries
Obesity
Hormonal imbalances
Digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea
Neurological conditions
Electroacupuncture increases the intensity of the signals being sent to the body through the needles and can help increase the volume of communication to the body.
